What is a Mirrix Loom?

Mirrix Looms are simply the best portable tapestry and bead looms available anywhere. Famous for both their form and function, the Mirrix Loom comes in seven different sizes to accommodate all the various needs of our tapestry and bead weaving community. The first Mirrix Loom prototype was made in 1995 and the company was started in 1996 and has been going strong ever since as our competitors have left the business. We are proud of our product and even prouder of the American employees who make each loom by hand. Buy a Mirrix and buy American!

Why Buy a Mirrix Loom?

Mirrix Tapestry & Bead Looms are designed to be as functional as they are beautiful. Made from a lovely combination of copper, aluminum and steel, the Mirrix Loom will last for generations to come. Our first advertisement sported the saying: "Because the Loom you weave on should be a work of art." We got it right from the very beginning. Mirrix Looms provide exceptional strength and tension so that you can spend your time creating pieces of artwork and not doing battle with your loom. The Mirrix is as easy to set up as it is to use. From our littlest to our biggest, the Mirrix is portable whether fitting in your purse or fitting in the back seat of your car. All our looms can stand on a table, although the smallest ones also serve as lap looms. The five larger looms (12 inches wide and up) come with the famous Mirrix shedding device, which raises and lowers every other thread for a true weaving experience. Use the shedding device for both tapestry and bead weaving. The two smallest looms come with one 14 dent warp coil for spacing the threads that are on the loom and do not provide shedding devices. The five larger looms come with the shedding device and four warp coils for many different sets. All the looms come with a newly minted two-hour DVD that shows you have to set it up for both tapestry and bead weaving and, along with the written instructions, will easily get you through the learning curve of setting up the Mirrix Loom. Turn any of the larger five looms into a floor loom with our beautiful Mirrix Loom stand and add-on treadle.

Why Buy a Mirrix Loom for Bead Weaving?

You’ve heard the name Mirrix before or maybe you’ve just encountered it for the first time on this Web site and you are wondering, first of all, why should I use that much of my bead money to buy a loom? Or you’ve always used non-weaving techniques (peyote, brick stitch, stringing, etc.) to produce your bead art and you’re wondering why you should even think about weaving beads. Maybe your first and last loom (that you spent $10 for) taught you that bead weaving didn’t produce the high quality work you have been able to achieve through other methods. I know mine did. Just trying to warp that loom and get all those little strings under even tension was enough to persuade me that bead weaving was not my cup of tea. In fact, I gave up beads all together and turned to tapestry (which lead, ultimately to the invention of the Mirrix Loom) because I wasn’t happy with the available tapestry weaving equipment).The rediscovery of beads combined with the Mirrix Loom was an absolute joy.
